This matches the lowest price ever for the unique gadget, and if you’re looking for some fun indoor activities for the cold winter months ahead, it’s not a bad deal. The device uses a sensor to track your motions, allowing you to partake in a variety of dance, sports, and fitness games. You’ll find five starter games included with your purchase:
- Whack A Mole Deluxe: Smack the pesky moles as they pop up on your screen.
- Party Fowl: Compete in a variety of minigames.
- Fruit Ninja: Slice through fruit that’s thrown onto the screen.
- Starri: A rhythm game that has you moving to the beat.

Along with the Nex Playground console and five games, you’ll get an HDMI and power cord to get up and running in seconds. There’s even a camera cover for added privacy. Up to four players can use the system simultaneously, making it a fun party activity.
If you want additional games, you’ll have to sign up for a Play Pass. This costs $89 per year and unlocks over 20 new titles. It sounds a bit pricey, but it does offer some cool kid’s games, such as Elmo Says, Peppa Pig: Jump & Giggle, and Candy Land: Sugary Sprint. You’ll also find a game that puts a cool twist on Connect 4 and a unique version of Hungry Hungry Hippos.
